Swatow Plaza

Average mall, I personally love the ambiance of it but that's likely just me. A solid mix of stores, including an imported cosmetic goods shop and a collectibles shop that isn't anything to scoff at.A good stop if you find yourself in chinatown, but not anything extremely special, and that's okay!

Chinatown business owners ensure that the streets are as safe and clean as possible. Swatow Plaza houses many shops, there may be some flats on uppee floors, and obeys Covid 19 protocols very well.

Came here to eat at the Lanzhou noodle...it was okay... I think Taiwanese beef noodle or Vietnamese pho tastes better. Also, the chili oil on the table does not taste like the Cantonese Chiu chou chili oil but tastes more vinegary. I am not sure what ingredients they use.The washroom is on the second floor of the mall way in the back left side....luckily it had a code to get into women's washroom. The 2nd floor is basically empty except for one shop. It was a little creepy I felt safer knowing one shop was there. However, the shop owner did not like me touching her clothing and products ( I am Asian Canadian). She let me browse for 10 minutes then basically had enough. When I went to browse through some racks of dresses she said to me Don't touch". I wasn't sure if she was only acting that way because she was paranoid about covid and didn't want people to touch the stuff. In any event this is May 17th 2022

Love Montreal China town. Feels very vibrant, clean. Although small compared to some other China towns like in Toronto or New York. It doesn't overwhelm you. Great variety of restaurants to choose from and parking is abundant around.

Good shop. Various choices. The entrance to the store is inside the restaurant.

Centre commercial à plusieurs niveaux avec un restaurant chinois et des magasins vendant des aliments asiatiques, des produits d'anime et des articles pour la maison.I love Chinatown. I always take my Eropean visiting friends to pass a day there and they are amazed. They do not have similar. Many things to see: the sweets, the food, the narrow roads. The pagoda, the shows in the plaza. They buy clothes and gadgets a souvenirs and food that we do not know so we can try when we return home.We go to the shaman to read our hand and tell us our future. We go to the foot massage parlor and then we visit the Beautifull and lovely old Montreal!

Very run down mall, most stores are closed or empty. Nothing is on the 2nd floor. You are better off avoiding this place in its entirety.

Have a lot ginger tea, what are good for my coughing.

Best part of this plaza is Coco's bakery. It's a Chinese bakery with the most delicious pork buns and donuts! Went everyday. Next door is great bubble tea and you can sit in the plaza and eat!

They ruined this mall to make condos, which still hasn't happened. I miss this location of Restaurant Imperial.
